Upgrading to new version 3.1.1

I am running Bering 3.0 from a CF card on an IDE to CF adapter.  It has
run flawlessly but I was interested in moving up to the latest rev.


When I decided to update to the latest version I kept my syslinux.cfg
file my leaf.cfg file my configdb.lrp file and my moddb.lrp file from my
working  3.O system.  I loaded a new CF with the new kernel and LRP
files as well as the new *.SER files and the config files from my
working system.
Everything works but I can not log in remotely to the LEAF box using
WinSCP. It connects originally but disconnects after the root password
is entered. It could be a problem with WinSCP itself but I am able to
log in to the router when the original 3.0 system is booted.

My questions are.

Should I be able use the *db.lrp flies from LEAF Bering 3.0 with the
3.1.1 version?

Do I need to update modules? I use tulip and via-rhine nic modules with
crc32, mii and the standard modules that come with the distribution package.

What are the *.ser files for and how do they fit into the picture?  They
weren't in the original 3.0 system.



Hopefully the answers will help me get my remote login back the router
is running in an old electrical cabinet in the basement and is not
easily accessible so the remote administration is a great help.

Thanks for your help.  It works but I use WinSCP to update my addon
hosts file and would like to be able to continue to use it so I have
reverted to my original 3.0 install.

The problem is certainly a cached credential for root@your_system.

With a new installation, a new SSH key is generated.

Delete that key from where WinSCP keeps it, and you'll ne fine.

They contain the config for setups that use a serial console - they were
introduced with Bering uClibc 3.1 RC1 to make life easier for those of
us who run Bering uClibc on a box without a video card (in such a case,
simply rename syslinux.ser to syslinux.cfg, and configdb.ser to
configdb.lrp and the default image will work on a box that has only a
serial console).

Thank you for your response.

The problem was the protocol that WinSCP used when attempting to
connect.  The connection was refused when using SFTP but was successful
when using SCP.  Apparently the LEAF system wasn't set up to use SFTP
and couldn't complete the connection.

Thanks
Ken

Thanks I assume then that I can safely remove these files from my boot
disk without causing problems.  I only connect using the local console
or via SSC or SCP from my local network.

Thanks Ken
